About MAP / Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a water soluble vitamin C derivative (L-Ascorbic acid mono-dihydrogen phosphate magnesium salt) with superior percutaneous absorption and stability.
MAP is an excellent non-irritating skin whitening agent that inhibits skin cells to produce melanin and lightens age spots.
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a potent anti-oxidant (protects skin from oxidation incl. UV rays) and it inhibits lipid-peroxidation.
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is an anti-inflammatory and it promotes collagen synthesis.
MAP does not degrade in formulas containing water.
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is a vitamin C derivative that has better stability than absorbic acid. In DIY skin care MAP is often used for: UV protection and repair, collagen production, skin lightening and brightening, and as an anti-inflammatory. It is also a potent antioxidant.
